One of the articles that I read on LSU’s “lazy river leisure center” mentioned that Texas Tech also has a “lazy river.”
A quick Google image search produced the following images of “aquatic centers” at a number of universities. I am not suggesting that these are the most elaborate “aquatic centers” at universities, or even that this is a fair sampling. Nor am I suggesting that all of these projects have cost anywhere close to the $85 million price tag for the LSU project.
But, honestly, if these images don’t suggest skewed priorities to anyone looking at them, then I think that trying to point out skewed priorities may be pointless.
